Hi, A couple of years ago I decided to look into a grid tied solar system. I looked at our heritage home and the roof was nearly 45 degree pitch roof, and falling off that had zero appeal. Then I looked at our 45 foot shipping container and got thinking. It is flat on the top to stand, I can fabricate brackets to angle to whatever I want to, and it is facing almost perfectly to the south. I ordered a starter component kit with 10 of 295 watt panels, 5 of 600watt micro inverters, a tiny data logger, rails and panel clamps. Then I fabricated 1.5" x 1.5 " steel tube to make the angled uprights. 2" x 2" steel angle drilled and bolted to the top of the shipping container to secure it with lots of sealer between the angle and the shipping container. Originally, I just wanted to drop my hydro bill to get below the 2nd tier more expensive rate but after it was all working, I decided to expand as that was really easy. So, I added another 14 panels of 320 watts each and 7 more micro inverters to reach a total of 7.3 Kw. Micro inverters are nice as they convert the solar panel DC to 240 volt AC at the back of the panel, so expansion is as simple as plugging in more in a daisy chain up to 7 micro inverters in a row. Then, make a new string and connect in parallel in the electrical box fastened to the shipping container. I trenched and tech cabled the wiring underground to the house where it goes to a dedicated breaker box and then directly into the main breaker box. It has been working great with only a few small issues for over a year now. The best output day I have had was over 40kw back in September. As the days had been getting shorter for months at that time, I am sure I can beat that next spring/summer.
